Gardening In Hawaii
In a place with a climate like eternal spring time, where there is so much lush greenery you would think gardening would be easy. But fruit flies and acidic soil makes it relatively hard to grow vegetables in Hawaii. Some of the easiest are ones that don't mind poor, acidic soil such as: Purple Sweet Potatoes, Basil, Ginger, Green Beans, and Taro. But most gardeners will need to adjust acid soils with lime or dolomite, and add compost on a regular basis.

Plant Quarantine prevents the introduction and spread of harmful pests and diseases into the state, as well as certifying plants for export out of the state. Information on importing plants, insects, microorganisms, and non-domestic animals to Hawaii available. The Hawaii Department of Agriculture's Plant Quarantine Program is the State's "First Line of Defense" in keeping pests out of the islands. Behind the scenes, we inspect everything from single-celled organisms used for research to exotic animals in the zoo; from flowers, fruits, and vegetables in the market to animal feed at the farm; from the clams and oysters in the restaurant to birds and fishes in the pet shop. All these things are checked at the harbor or airport to make sure they're safe for all of us.
